I've seen Matt Miller (maybe not the most credible but still...) rank Routt higher than Carr back in March, I've seen Raiders fans say Routt is an average number 1 corner or a very good number 2. Really, it's not like we went from Carr to Reeves.

We'll see.... People keep saying that but the truth is that Routt has been around for eight years and only had one good year. He has mostly played in the nickel and dime and on special teams. He was pretty good as the #2 in 2010 across from Asamough but that's about it. After the first year as the #2, he was benched because he stunk.
When he got his shot at being the #1 he led the league in pass intereference calls and was the most penalized player on the most penalized team.
The bottom line is that he played well yesterday and I'm happy about that. However, he's only had one good season out in his first seven years.
Carr should have been the number one in KC. Especially in 2010 and 2011. It was easy to see he was better than Flowers in coverage. I think he'll make the pro bowl this year in Dallas. He is shadowing WRs there for the entire game. He did a great job on Victor Cruz the othr night and there will be more to come.
Losing him was a huge mistake. In my opinion, there is no other young player ascending as much as he is right now. He has not plateaued and that's why he got a big contract. I think Flowers leveled off two years ago. I like Flowers but, I like Carr better. In the end, I think Jerry got a good deal. |
Our d-line is just disappointing. Time to start over again.
